Compare and Contrast
2.1 Many of the traditions we saw in the last time period (ending 600 B.C.E.) continued to develop and influence civilizations in the classical age. Religions and cultural trends that were sometimes vague and unorganized were codified during this time. That is to say, ideas that existed before became more formalized; they were embedded in laws and religious beliefs, recorded in religious texts and practices, and embodied in codes that were perpetuated across geography and generations. Thus they became permanent fixtures of core civilizations. Such standardized traditions gave societies a shared identity. Rulers appealed to these belief systems to justify their actions; common ethical and ceremonial traditions gave cohesion to society. However, organized religious and cultural traditions could also cause conflict between people of different traditions. Even within the same culture, beliefs were rarely homogeneous and deviations, reform movements, and differing interpretations could challenge the social order.
